Howdy photographers! Hope to see your images here this week!!

Your photography challenge for this week is to capture an "insect". No spiders because they aren't an insect. Get out and look on the leaves, in the grass, on the walls of your home... Get out there and get a photo!!!

Here's mine ~ Banasa dimiata - aka Stinkbug


Please upload your photos to here in the Photography section of Hummie's World gallery, then post your photo to this thread so we can click your photo and leave you some love!


This challenge is open to everyone, so please share your photos with us!!!

Fantastic theme, Tammy. I'm eager for a "photo walk" to get this one

Do moths count as insects? I think I need to go back to school to remember what qualifies!


Take 12 September # 9 - My Red Sedum are covered with hundreds of moth. I wonder if I should try to get rid of them and how. by Hummie~, on Flickr

Yep, I can see his attitude! That reminds me of one I captured just like that on a headlight.... now where is that one.... it was at a wedding shower a few years ago....have to go look.

Those are just so fun, aren't they? I think they are walking sticks.

I just happened to take this photo a last week when I was practicing with some more settings on my camera! Kinda cute little thing. From the side, it looks just like a leaf.

I took these on the 1st of June - it was hanging out on a tomato cage - don't know what it was!

Can't resist sharing this one - also from June. I've seen a lot of blue-green dragonflies, but I thought this red one was unusual. I was amazed he let me get so close; I don't have a fancy camera, so I was pleased with the results!

Firefly .... that's such a cool up close shot! ... is you name Colleen? I'm trying to remember.

Anita, that is a cicada in the first one, right?
That second one is red and cool.

Hummie, I wondered what it was - I know what cidadas sound like, but didn't know what they looked like!
And - I have a gob of moths (& bees!) on my autumn joy sedum, have them every year, doesn't seem to hurt the plants, so just enjoy them!

Tammy, thanks for starting such a fun theme!!
Is that a 'stink bug' in your photo? It looks like the things that like to hide inside the hollow part of raspberries when we're picking them - if you happen to pop one in your mouth they are AWFUL!!

Here's the ones I remembered from someone else's post above. I took it in 2011.

Yes, Anita it's a stink bug. Agreeing with Hummie that your first photo is a cicada. I didn't know they lived here in our part of the US, but they do! They're just smaller and less than what's in the east.

Here's my insect photo. I see them ALL the time but darned if I can't find one when I need it, : so I used a photo I already have.

Here's a little cutie I found! Forgot I had this picture until I was looking for photos with flares.
